Awesome local crabs!…read more We were staying in town for a small family vacation and of course we need to get some MD crabs during the summer. Our host had recommended this spot and it did not disappoint. We got a couple dozen crabs and some shrimp and we were stuffed. The crabs were fresh, as I was literally waiting for them to come in from the fisherman in the morning., and waited outside for them to be cooked. The crabs were sweet and stuffed. We loved them! This is a pick up spot, they do not have dine in. I would call in the order as early as you can when they open. I'm sure they run out at some point.

Oh, and the décor is very nice! I personally really like the Earl Grey Spring & Mulberry date-sweetened chocolate. Of course, the packaging is so pretty it's hard to separate that from the taste and texture, too .... The honeys here are like none other I've had before! The absolute cutest little honey bears I've ever seen! There's one raw honey in a glass jar that's the only chewy honey I've ever tasted -- what a treat to eat a spoonful of that plain, direct from the jar, mmm! (I didn't just eat it for the taste or texture, though -- I started to eat it because I'd read about the great health benefits of honey!) I really really enjoy the smokiness of the Russian Caravan. Plus, it's fun to research, read and find out about such things as how this rather unique tea flavour came about -- that it was the result of actual campfire smoke flavouring the tea in the first place while travelling across Russia way-back-when that is now encapsulated in this oh-so-tasty tea! Tea is a really great gateway to learning about various cultures and world history! Maybe it's his-tea-ry! Persian Rose Garden tea is splendid -- mellow and rich, smooth, calming (I'm not saying it's medicinally calming, but rather that it's evocative of a certain atmosphere that may make you feel a certain way if you tune into it.) Turmeric ginger is very nice, too .... Overall, aesthetically beautiful, palate-pleasing place! Highly recommended!

The story of how I came to know about Shafa is pretty funny. A relative was sick and drinking some of the Shafa Blends' teas as a way to recover from a serious illness. I secretly doubted this would be of much benefit. However, to commiserate with him, I had a cup of their turmeric/ginger tea. And, don't you know, I felt better--and wasn't even the ailing person! So, now, I'm a believer. I like their Superior Earl Grey tea; the bergamot component is marvelous. There are other Earl Grey combinations, too. The rooibos is nice. And I can vouch for the fact that their teas keep their intensity long after purchase.

Each little treasure trove of spices is situated in its own little category. There are baking spices and salad spices. I was impressed with all the different kinds of cinnamon's. The people who work there are the nicest. A gentleman directed me to the cayenne pepper area. There was a variety of choices and I learned about the Scoville levels of heat. Now, you may be saying to yourself, why would Joy B. searching for the hot peppers? The truth of the matter is that I was looking to help out a friend. I found my cayenne pepper and I was pleasantly surprised at the price point. I bought a nice size bottle for about $6.00 and change. So, excellent variety, well organized, helpful staff, and reasonably priced... I can assure you that I will be returning soon. Great job, Penzeys.

A couple of weeks ago, when my in laws were in town, we decided to visit Annapolis on a Sunday afternoon. The Spice & Tea Exchange was one of the shops we wandered into while exploring Main Street. The store has hundreds of spices and teas, some of which aren't easy to find at grocery stores. On this visit, I picked up some horseradish powder and a couple of teas (Russian black and infused green). On top of having a really great selection (whether you're shopping for yourself or for gifts), their customer service is really great - so friendly and helpful. If you're wandering down Main Street, don't pass by - especially if you're a cook or you like a daily cup of tea!

We dinned outside deciding to take full advantage of the last few warm days we have left. I'm a novice when it comes to cheese and really had no idea what to try. The menu was pretty expansive I really didn't know where to start. They had several boards that were curated by the monger or you could mix and match a few items. Our server was super helpful and asked a few questions. From there she was able to put together a very nice selection. A mix of fruit, cheese, meat and a few other accompaniments. I also got a corn and crab bowl. Really tasty and light. The crab to corn ratio was perfect. A very enjoyable dish. I definitely plan on visiting this place again soon.
